I promised
meredyd I would upload some music for her, and I HAVEN'T YET, because I am a bum! So here. (BTW, I say it every time: join
indie_exchange. Invaluable resource u guyz. So is hypem.com, btw, for individual tracks.)
Meredith specifically requested b-sides/rare stuff from Regina Spektor and Arcade Fire, and I meant to expand on that, but I wasn't sure quite how to do it. So instead I just nerded really hard on these two artists!
HERE is zip of 27 rare Regina tracks, which includes:
- the Live at Bull Moose EP
- the Live in California EP
- Begin to Hope iTunes bonus tracks
- the White Sessions (includes "Bobbing for Apples" aka "someone next door is fucking to one of my songs")
- two live versions of "Reginasaurus" because they're both cute
- "Little Boxes" from Weeds
- "The Call" from Prince Caspian
- "Baby Jesus" live from a concert I attended :D
- really excellent cover of "Chelsea Hotel No. 2" which I had some guy rip from internet radio for me
- and more!!1
I didn't include any legit albums, cuz they're pretty easy to find and also the thing is, the first...four each have a few different songs and a lot of the same ones, so it's hard to choose. But I have them all so if you need halp, I can do zat.
And ditto for Arcade Fire, 35 tracks, which includes:
- self-titled EP aka "Us Kids Know"
- 8 tracks from something that is SUPPOSEDLY 18 rareties but I only gots 8 of 'em
- live radio session feat. mostly Neon Bible songs
- "Winter for a Year" aka my Susan Pevensie song of endless weeps
- "Cold Wind" from the Six Feet Under OST
- two different versions of "Maps" (Yeah Yeah Yeahs cover)
- THREE different versions of "Naive Melody (This Must Be The Place)" (Talking Heads cover) (one of which is really fuzzy but features David Actual Byrne!) (I REALLY LOVE THAT SONG OKAY? LIKE IF I GET MARRIED IT WILL BE MY FIRST DANCE LOVE IT. So you get three.)
- covers of "Born on a Train" and "Guns of Brixton"
- and more!!!1
It does NOT include Miroir Noir or the instrumental "Burning Bridges" because I accidentally deleted my copy; it also does not include the so-called Christmas Album because so ardent is my AF enthusiasm that the file with it was too big for Mediafire. And it's mostly just noodling anyway without much musical merit. Also just be warned that the labeling on a lot of these is a little whack.
SO NOW THAT YOU HAVE SEEN BUT A SMALL SLICE OF MY MUSIC NERDERY (let's just act chill since nobody asked to see my collection of Liz Phair or Bjork rareties), I bid thee goodnight, internets! And also if you have any other musical requests/desire for recs, let me know! I-I kind of like music. A little bit.
